Georgia Mobile Home Certificate of Title Bond: Required Documents, How Value Is Determined, Double-Wide Rules, and the Three Application Mistakes to Avoid

Listen to this post:
0:00

A Georgia Mobile Home Certificate of Title Bond is a surety bond required when a mobile home owner cannot provide a properly assigned Certificate of Title, enabling the applicant to obtain a bonded title through the state or county Tax Commissioner's Office, with the bond amount determined by a National Automobile Dealers Association valuation run by the bonding company rather than by the applicant.

Key Facts at a Glance

Purpose: enables mobile home owners without a properly assigned title to obtain a bonded title through the state or county Tax Commissioner's Office. Required before applying: mobile home dimensions (length and width), supporting ownership evidence, completed T-22B form from a law enforcement officer (one per side for double-wide or triple-wide units), and a lien release if an active lien exists. Key difference from motor vehicle title bond: no NMVTIS report required; value is determined by BOSS Bonds via a NADA report rather than by the applicant. Application: prints directly from the information provided — accuracy is critical. Three most common mistakes: incorrect principal name, incomplete or inaccurate bond information, and matching seller and indemnitor information. Double-wide and triple-wide: may require a separate bond per side; one application covers all sections. Response time: BOSS Bonds contacts the applicant within one business day for multi-section units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would someone need a Georgia Mobile Home Certificate of Title Bond?

When a mobile home owner does not have a valid title and lacks the correct proof-of-ownership documents needed to obtain one through the standard process, they can obtain a title based on a surety bond. The bond allows the state or the Tax Commissioner's Office to process the title application in place of a fully documented ownership chain.

What documents are required before applying for the bond?

Applicants must have the physical dimensions of the mobile home — specifically its length and width — before applying. Supporting evidence of ownership is also required, which can include a Bill of Sale, invoice, canceled check, old title, or closing documents from the purchase of the mobile home. A T-22B form completed by a law enforcement officer is required to verify the mobile home has not been reported stolen. For double-wide or triple-wide mobile homes, a separate T-22B form is required for each side. If the mobile home has an active lien, a lien release from the lienholder must be obtained before proceeding with the bond process. The state and the Tax Commissioner's Office will not process a title application without all required documents in place.

How does the mobile home title bond differ from the standard motor vehicle certificate of title bond?

Two key differences apply. Unlike a motor vehicle title bond, an NMVTIS vehicle history report is not required for a mobile home. Additionally, the applicant does not need to independently determine the value of the mobile home. Once the application information is received, BOSS Bonds runs a National Automobile Dealers Association report to determine the mobile home's value.

What are the most common application mistakes for the Georgia mobile home title bond?

Three errors appear most frequently. The principal's name must be entered exactly as it appears on their driver's license. All information on the application must be entered exactly as the applicant wants it to appear on the bond, since the bond prints directly from the application data. The seller's information must reflect who the mobile home was purchased from — the previous owner — and cannot be the same as the indemnitor's information.

Do double-wide or triple-wide mobile homes require multiple bonds?

Possibly. Double-wide or triple-wide mobile homes may require a separate bond for each side. Applicants do not need to submit multiple applications — a single application is sufficient. BOSS Bonds will make contact within one business day to assist with obtaining everything needed for multi-section units.
